HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR NORTH FACING SHORES

Swell Summary

As the current northwest swell continues to diminish tonight, a medium period north swell will build rapidly. Surf along north facing shores, as well as some exposed east facing shores, will rise well above High Surf Advisory levels and may approach the High Surf Warning level during the peak of the swell late tonight and early Sunday. This swell will gradually diminish and shift out of the north- northeast Monday and Tuesday as the period lowers. A moderate, long period northwest swell will arrive late Monday and persist through the work week, with peak surf heights below advisory level heights.

East shores will experience some wrapping north swell during the next few days, followed by moderate, short period wind swell through much of the work week. South shores will remain seasonably small.
